I mean, I didn't like one plot in one episode. It's not like every other Inoue thing I've ever watched is bad and should feel bad. Shit, it's not even like Kiva as a series is something I dislike now. It's one bad plot! Let's not give it too much power!

Well, that only really works if the show let Yuri call Jiro, Shima, etc on their sexist nonsense. It completely doesn't, and she absolutely would, so there's really no way to spin this as the show using regressive tropes to comment on them.
